Microcarrier Enhanced Survival of Human and Rat Fetal Ventral Mesencephalon Cells Implanted in the Rat Striatum
The transplantation of tissue containing dopamine-producing cells into the mammalian central nervous system is an emerging treatment for Parkinson's disease, despite relatively poor survival of implanted tissue. Recent evidence has suggested that Cytodex microcarriers enhance the survival of do...
